Title:- Prophetic Chatter
Acts 2: 3,4 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The motto of the British Submarine Service is “We come unseen.” Some while ago now, I served on board two of Her Majesty’s submarines, HMSM Renown and HMSM Revenge. As machines of stealth and destruction, I still remember them to be then, strangely beautiful, akin to a panther, sleek dark and invisible, that is, until they bare their teeth and growl.
Today in 1864, the first successful submarine torpedo attack took place when the USS Housatonic was sunk by the Confederate submarine Hunley in Charleston harbour; however, the force of the explosion was so great that the submarine itself was also blown up, killing all on board.
Friends, the ‘Promise of the Father’, did not come unseen! The most powerful force in the universe, in the person of God the Holy Spirit, the invisible, unseen God, exploded onto the seen with such a cacophony of light and noise, that frankly, it should have killed both the sender and the receivers! But it didn’t! Rather, it ‘lit up’ the spiritual airwaves. Yes, after 400 years of prophetic stillness, with the coming and filling of the Holy Spirit, the spiritual airwaves began blasting out a prophetic chatter that has never ended and please God, it never will. Silence no more!
Yet, for so many of us, within the silence of our own hearts, the prophetic stillness appears to continue. We say, “If God is speaking then why don’t I hear Him?” If that’s you, then today, get with someone, and say to them “The God who speaks through many tongues, appears not to speak to me. Please, help me find out why.”
Listen: -Isa 30:21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,”
Pray: - Speak Lord in my stillness, while I wait, on Thee, hush my heart to listen, in expectancy.
